Mosaic of Marks, Words, Material
This catalogue presents the exhibition Mosaic of Marks, Words, Material, a collection of works by young girls and boys who attend the municipal infant-toddler centres and preschools of Reggio Emilia.
Drawing and telling stories means imagining, analyzing, and exploring spaces, forms, colors, words, metaphors, emotions, rhythms and pauses, entering into a narrative dimension that is both internal and external to the self, playing on reality, fiction, and interpretation.
Though drawing and words are autonomous languages, for the children words and stories, silent or spoken, almost always go hand in hand or intertwine with the drawing, creating an intelligent and often poetic mosaic.
With this investigation we tried, as much as it is possible, to better understand this interweaving, with the aim to restore to drawing, materials, words, and the children all the cognitive and expressive richness they generate.
This Special Singapore edition of Mosaic of Marks, Words, Material is published by arrangement with Reggio Children - International Center for the defence and promotion of the rights and potential of all children - Italy.
